tenance of four different bulky cartons in aV position accessible to the typist.

Therefore, it is the object and eect ofmy4 invention to provide means vfor packing, and rendering accessible' to a typi'st ina single carton, the several grades of carbon paper sheets aforesaid and in such position and relation that the different grades are distinctively and accessibly presented'for withdrawal by the operator; the paper of the several grades being held in respectively different folders which are primarily packed kin said carton but which may be readily independently'remo'v'ed and replaced. 'Moreover, an adjunctive feature of my invention is the distinguishment ofeachoffsaid folders by color, coordinating them and their contents with the colors of paper ordinarily used in the sev- Yeral items of commercial stationery contemplated upon `which the original typewritten matteris imprinted. It is theordinary practice to employ v.four different kinds of com3 mercial papers, respectively white, blue, pink and yellow; the white being the thickest and .i the yellow the thinnest.

form of my invention hereinafter described, I have included in a single carton, respective folders which are white, blue, pink and yellow and which hold carbon paper of the proper grade for making copies from the original typewriting upon paper which is white, blue, pink and yellow and differing in thickness kas aforesaid. The advantage of such arrangement is that an unskilled or careless typist may be sure to use the proper grade of However, it is most economical toA Therefore, in the carbon paper by taking it from'the folder which is identified with the samecolor Vasthe paper upon which the originalribbon copy .of the Amatter to be typed is to be written.,v

My invention includes the various novel features of construction and arrangement hereinafter more definitely specified. In said drawings; F 1g. I'is a plan view kof Aa carton Vconveniently embodying my invention.

Fig. II is a sectional view ofl said carton, taken on the line II, IIV in Fig. I; merely one long side of the carton being. removed. i

Said flap V2is rnormally upturned in theposition shown yin Fig. II and covered by' the closure 6 which is hinged to the carton l at their junctionk 7 so that the sidewalls V8 of said carton are then inclosed by the side walls 10 of said closure 6 and theend closure 2 secured by theV overlapping end'wa-ll lllof said closure 6. Y

However, as shown in Fig. VI the closure 6 may be turned backuponthe'top of the carton casingl so as to release the end'flap 2 and permit it to fall flat upon the surfacesupporting said'carton, thus exposingin readily accessibleposition, the four foldersl, 14, 15,`and`16 which are preferably respectively Vment block which isfixed` inthe carton/in colored White, blue, pinkr and yellow and which respectively hold supplies of carbon paper 18,119, 20 and 21 ranging 'from seven poundV tO- four pound stock.

gwn y Eachof said folders13, 14, 15 vand 16 has a bottom panel 23 in rigid relation with a solid hinge abutment 24, 'and a top flap panel 25 which is hingedly connected, at 26, tothe jabutment24 of itsbottom panel 23.
